Jonathon Brooks Nearing Return From Injured Reserve for Panthers

Carolina Panthers running back Jonathon Brooks could potentially be designated to return from injured reserve this week, according to head coach Dave Canales. Brooks has been sidelined since undergoing core-muscle surgery on September 23. Having missed more than four games, Brooks must clear final recovery checkpoints before practicing, and he is expected to serve as a change-of-pace option behind starter Chuba Hubbard.
